Yes. Some people should get the death penalty. I just donβt trust our ability to judge who deserves it.
Emotionally I agree. And, even intellectually, I absolutely believe that there are humans on this Earth that do not deserve to remain here. I am not, however, in favor of allowing a government the right to decide who lives and who dies. Yes, getting rid of those people is appealing, but, what if. What if a fundamentalist takes the reigns and wants to get rid of witches (like Saudi Arabia) or drug users (like the Philippines or Malaysia), etc.
